Indeed. If anyone here is reading that and unironically agreeing, I genuinely pray for your eternal soul. And I'm not even religious, but this way if thinking is how you get front row seats straight to Hell.

The number one reason Walmart doesn't want homeless camps on their properties is that they offer free overnight parking (camping) for motorhomes and truckers because those folks are a big part of the Walmart customer base. Truckers and travelers like the convenience and free accommodations. Walmart doesn't want to provide overnight security but there have been problems across the country because Walmart also seems to attract homeless camps.

What exactly is the vax for? Are kids at risk?

I have only found these at one convenience store when I lived in Billerica and now can’t find them anywhere :-(. Thanks.

Absolutely should get 8x boosted because more is better, right? right?

I appreciate the civil discussion and I’m w you on the muddy ethics of comping people for blood and the like. Do I think they should? Yes on one hand, no on the other. Eh. I really don’t have an answer.

I completely hear where you're coming from with the comparison to blood donations. I agree those should be compensated.
I think one differences is that getting a vaccine also protects the person getting it AND is good for public health, whereas donating blood is not giving any health benefit to the person donating and ONLY is good for public health.
So, from and ethical standpoint, paying for blood donations is a little more complicated. In my opinion that should be more compensated, not less, but there's some ethical muddiness nto offering a financial incentive for a medical procedure that doesn't have the direct benefit to the individual.
There's also the cost. It's cost effective to offer this incentive, whereas to pay people to donate blood products would increase the cost of a medical treatment that's already really expensive, without the indirect cost-saving benefit that vaccines have.
But again, I hear you and agree that the premise of not compensating people who donate blood is problematic. Without direct benefit to the individual, I see even more reason to compensate people instead of less.

Here’s a crazy idea, maybe we don’t need more places to live in the city. Maybe more people need to look outside of the city. At some point we’re gonna be leveling parks and wooded areas to build more housing. When is enough enough?

I dunno. I completely agree w the theory of vax and their place in a healthy population but you can barely get an apple when donating blood but get vaxxed and get paid? There’s so many double standards and hypocrisy surrounding Covid that paying people to get vaxxed just doesnt sit well w me.

First time with WPD?
For real though, Worc cops are USELESS. They're pussies who won't do shit unless they're literally dragged kicking and screaming. All while each stealing 6 figures of your taxes. Sorry that happened, but sadly that is current state of our police.
